You should start watching from the beginning, if you haven't, because this is not really an episodic show, but more like a long novel.  Based on all we know about Michael, Eleanor and Chidi, the cliche of the owl eating the lizard wouldn't make sense as a plot development, because Michael wouldn't worry about showing that to Eleanor, and Eleanor wouldn't be mad at Chidi about it.

I can't stand the Barefoot Contessa, so that would definitely be on my diagram. 

I am VERY curious, however, as to what an "Ambien-Hamster Mishap" could be . . . or maybe its better not to know . . . 

Ooooooh, better not to know;)

I guess I just don't "get" this show.  This  is the first season that I have started watching it.

I thought that the owl was going to eat that lizard and that the lizard didn't run away.  I thought that is what Michael was afraid to show Eleanor.

If that had happened, then Eleanor would have been pissed at Chidi for picking the owl when he could have taken a dog.  It would have been all on Chidi since he stalled around unable to make a decision on which dog to take.    By the time he makes up his mind both dogs were gone.  The only three animal options that were left weren't all that great so he took the owl.

The first two seasons of this show are so good. The twist that shocked most viewers—that they were in the Bad Place—has been spoiled for you, but it’s still really worth a watch. The second season is some of my favorite tv ever. I’m still loving this season, but mostly because I’m ridiculously invested in these characters. Maybe see if your library has DVDs of the seasons (if you don’t want Netflix.) Just make sure to get out of the library before they start filming porn...

Love Chidi's inability to pick a puppy (although, why wouldn't he simply ask Janet to conjure up another one?)

Because his pathology is considering all options and I think discounting factors that might be merely his own selfishness. Conjuring another puppy wouldn't help with that. 

It was nice to see something of Chidi smitten with Eleanor. We didn't get much of that last season. But I will say that the bit where Eleanor lost her hair took me out of the story because it seemed odd that Michael and Janet would have had the opportunity to study the side effects of (1) a new device (2) on humans (3) in the Earth environment. When I pick up a prescription the long list of distressing and unlikely side effects were collected from clinical trials! 

[Melina22]

I couldn't stand it when not just her hair but her teeth fell out. It gave me the wiggins. (My nightmares come to life.) 

[festivus]

I have nightmares about my teeth falling out. I still laughed around the hand that was held to my mouth in horror though. Just the look on her face.

I do, too! All the time! It's supposedly related to anxiety.

[phalange]

Oh, I loved this episode (so it would figure that my DVR didn't record it and I had to wait until it showed up on OnDemand today. Boo.).

Anyway. I'm so glad we, and Eleanor, got to see how she and Chidi fell in love. It made my little shipper heart so happy. Michael described some of those events (Chidi sneezing, the kiss by the lake) last season so I'm happy we actually got to see them. All the little scenes of them cuddling or holding hands were sweet. I'm glad Michael also made her realize that her attributing her feelings for Chidi to determinism was just a defense mechanism.

All the scenes with the animals were perfect. Of course Tahani would choose a centaur that looks like her, and of course Jason would think penguins are mythical creatures. Like Chidi, I wouldn't have been able to choose between the puppies either. Though, in my case, it would be kittens. The lizard crawling up Eleanor's head while she just kept talking like nothing was happening had me in stitches, as did Tahani's expression as it happened. Also, Eleanor running around calling for "Lizard!" because she didn't name it. 

Janet really didn't like the reminder about Jason and Tahani being married.

I missed Shawn and Vicki. I'm glad they're back. Since their powers probably won't work on Earth, I look forward to Shawn getting frustrated when he can't lock people inside cocoons whenever they piss him off. 

When Eleanor and Michael are sitting at the table in the library, there's one of those motivational posters behind them that reads "Gradadude." 

[Dots And Stripes]

Anyone notice a Lil Sebastian like mini horse among the animals in this episode? D’Arcy Carden (Janet) posted a pic of herself with one and I assume it was taken when they filed this episode.

Too bad this wasn’t the real horsey heaven.

It wouldn't surprise me if Lil' Sebastian ended up in the Bad Place. That miniature horse had bad morals and was a little bit full of himself, diploma from Notre Dame and all.

Parks and Rec had a running gag about libraries, too. I love libraries, but I still enjoy the jokes.

To me they should have realized they were in the bad place when Chidi felt pain and started bleeding from the owl scratch. Why would you bleed in the good place?

I think it's Chidi's low self-esteem that makes him not question things like that. Why would the soulmate animal scratch him? Why would he not be able to ask for another puppy if the original ones on offer were gone? Does "The Good Place" have a puppy shortage? Why a lot of things. I think that there have been lots of hints (even in the very first episode, with a dog being kicked into the sun), but these people are too anxious and confused to actually see through it at first. But then, they do see through it over and over again, eventually, which is why Michael's experiment failed.

As others have said it would be best to start with Season 1 and give it at least 5-6 episodes.  Some folks loved it from the jump (moi) and others needed a few more eps to gain the full appreciation.

[Loandbehold]

I've been wondering, given Chidi's pathology, would he really have gone to Eleanor instead of to Michael's "be one with your soul animal event"? After all, he'd committed to going to the latter. Didn't not going violate some ethical construct? Shouldn't he have been paralyzed over whether to go or follow Eleanor? Did he tell MIchael that he wasn't going or did he just not show up? This only occurred to me on my third viewing. Maybe I should just limit myself to two, at least for the first week.

I think the reason that Chidi and Eleanor are actual, real-life soulmates, despite what Michael has said about making the whole thing up, is that they make each other better. He helps her to be less selfish, to think about the well-being and happiness of others, and he makes her feel secure as she actually has someone she can depend on, who will help her and support her. As for Chidi, Eleanor helps him to take himself less seriously. More importantly, we've seen Eleanor make Chidi more decisive, too, like when he stormed into Michael's office in season 1 to tell him that Eleanor did belong there and should get points for improvement. Deciding to skip flying and help the woman he was in love with (since we know he was smitten since she handed him the tissue before sneezing) was probably fairly easy for him at that point in that reboot. They help each other overcome the character flaw that sent them to the Bad Place, and it's really sweet 'n' stuff.

And I think three viewings of an episode is perfectly acceptable. 

[Ailianna]

Even four or five viewings a week is ok.  Everything is great!

[VCRTracking]

Kristen Bell is hilarious and cute even with a lizard crawling on her head!

The Good Place’s Lizard Is a ‘Moody’ Improv Master

Count me in as the flashbacks making me miss the afterlife stuff too. I know there were probably those who didn't want an entire season of still-evil Michael making attempt after attempt a torturing our favorite four but now I wish they had!

Centaur Tahani was amazing. She was everything I didn't know I needed in my life. The flashbacks were adorable as was the argument Eleanor made being based in philosophy.

I love both characters and agree with all your reasons about why they are soulmates, but (UO here) I see them as platonic soulmates rather than as passionate lovers. The declaration of love in the bed scene just didn't ring true to me, for those reasons. I feel that Chidi and Simone have had more potential lover chemistry than Chidi and Eleanor. I know most viewers ship Chidi and Eleanor, but one of the things I love about this show is the focus on developing true friendship and supporting your friends even when it is not easy. Making Chidi and Eleanor romantic soulmates takes away from that focus for me. (Note that I am not saying you can't be romantic/passionate soulmates who are also best friends--my husband and I have that kind of relationship--but I'm just not feeling the romance and passion between Chidi and Eleanor.) 

[Mabinogia]

What I am really enjoying, regarding ships on this show, is that I will be thrilled if Eleanor and Chidi become a true romantic couple, but I will be just as thrilled if they each meet the love of their lives and remain best friends forever. So long as they have each other I don't quite care how it plays out. And as long as it is mutual. The only thing I do not want, shipping wise, is for one to pine after the other. I am so thankful that Eleanor didn't find out about her and Chidi's relationship until after he broke up with Simone (I miss you Simone!!!!!) 

I do hope they resolve the Janet/Jason/Tahani triangle though. It is the only part of the show I don't like. I honestly like Jason with either of them, or neither of them. But I hate watching Janet pinning away for Jason while he goes happily along totally ignorant of her feelings. Please, show, make that stop. 

[jmonique]

One of the things that's making me miss the first two seasons is all of the philosophy lessons this season are soooooo ham-fisted and After-School Special like. 

Quote

Eleanor: "This is all just ... determinism."
Michael: "What?"

Cut to Eleanor literally reading a definition of determinism out of a book. All that's missing is a narrator, and this setup is straight from a 1950s training video. It's like the overriding yearning to teach the unwashed masses philosophy theories is driving the show, not the plot or the characters.

Also, while the reboots framework for this show is entertaining and whimsical, watching Eleanor watch -- yet not remember -- her previous experiences is rather frustrating to me as a viewer. I'm seriously hoping this is the last time I have to watch Team Cockroach Soul Squad learn how to be better people. 
 

[lucindabelle]

Really fantastic episode. Kristen Bell is an amazing actor. The TIming of her saying she would have iced tea too was perfect. 

[Wandering Snark]

I let this one sit a while, just fired it up today. I'd kind of thought they'd lost their way and as I was waiting for it I bemoaned that it was probably this last season ending with a whimper... and then I watched the episode. Holy forking shirtballs that was hilarious. Shows they still have the magic. Awesome stuff.

Isn't the loosing teeth thing a dream element that represents death? I've had quite a few heinous teeth falling out dreams. They all came flooding back to me when she spit her teeth out though so it wasn't all puppies and laughs. I'll forgive them though.

With the Bad people on Earth too I'm looking forward to where this will take us next. I mean beside Canada.

[Zuleikha]

I enjoyed this episode a lot, but I thought it showed (again) that the show has lost a lot of the magic without the Good Place setting. The return of the Good Place setting was so wonderful. All of the whimsy made sense and the actors did a great job returning to who they were.

I am not super excited about the Bad Place demons because what purpose can they actually serve? They don't (or shouldn't) have their powers. They don't logically lead to any kind of showdown with the Good Place over the point system. They don't directly relate to the Soul Squad trying to help people get to the Good Place.

I am also really over Janet pining for Jason. It's not interesting, and it doesn't serve her character. Meanwhile, all of the really interesting stuff that can be happening with Janet dealing with who she is when she is not a functional Janet is being overlooked.

[arc]

I'm totally an Eleanor/Chidi shipper too. (Do we not have a portmaneau couple name? Cheleanor? Nordi?) Kristen Bell didn't really sell the romance last season IMO but in this ep, I bought it.

Eleanor read the definition for determinism out of "A Complete Idiot's Guide to the Cliff Notes to Philosophy For Dingdongs ... For Morons (Abridged Edition)" -- I think that's what the last two words say, anyways.

Technically the Jeremy Bearimy of it all means there's not particular reason the illegal afterlife-Earth portal opened up in the present time rather than a while ago, but ... it probably did, to make the storytelling easier. And that would definitely kill my pet "Vicky is secretly Simone" theory, not to mention that Vicky appeared on earth as Vicky. Ah well.

TBH, considering that in this episode Michael reiterated (in flashback) that the entire Good Place was made up by him, it's kind of disconcerting that Doug "92% right" Forcett might still be one of the very few true things pre-face-turn Michael said.

This is caused my eyes to well up, a bit.  I forkin' love Kristin Bell.   How a show can make me laugh out loud and then cry a few minutes later...that's good! 

And I could absolutely tell that the lizard just decided to climb Mount Eleanor and that Kristin Bell was just awesome about it.  (But she did NOT "rock" that bald look, unfortunately!)

It could be that the afterlife portal was designed to land in a specific spot in earth's timeline. It's also possible it landed right after Michael and Janet got to Australia, and the demons have had a long head start to get to Calgary. 

[Maelstrom]

I'm late to the party so I'll just echo what everyone else has said - loved the return of the Good Place, seeing the reboot where Chidi and Eleanor fell in love, the lizard, the centaur Tahaniya, the return of the Vicki and the demons*, and most of all the scenes between Eleanor and Michael. As you've all said, the entire cast is pitch-perfect and work so well with each other, but the Michael/Eleanor dynamic is really something special. Love this show!!

At 6:48 or so into the show, when they come back from a break and Tahani is noting how Eleanor and the lizard both have combination skin, if you look above their heads, there's a little magical streak through the sky. If you pause it, it's the magic panda from last season that Jason wanted to catch, hopping from one balcony to another.

 

Thank you!! I noticed the streak of light but was always watching the lizard, so I never caught what the light was. Guess I'll have to rewatch the ep again, darn. This show is amazing.

Wasn't there an animated kids' movie some years back about a dancing penguin? Maybe Blake tortured Jason by not dancing.

I feel like I have read it represents lack of control and anxiety, but who knows? I haven't personally had it, but I do have recurring dreams about law school classes I haven't attended where I have to take the exam and/or can't find the classroom. Also a lot of dreams about elevators that don't go where they are supposed to (which seems to have replaced dreams where I am driving but my brakes don't work well and I keep accidentally running red lights).
